Mysterious Male Escort Is a Mogul Chapter 1169

Chapter 1169Chapter 1169
After Morgan had left the room, Charlotte probed the room herself. She found nothing out of place, and
prepared to shower and sleep.
At that moment, Louis knocked on her door. “Charlotte, can I come in?”
Charlotte pulled on a cardigan and opened the door. “Louis, is something wrong?”
“I just wanted to check up on you. I hope the explosion didn't scare you too much,” Louis said, his voice
tinged with concern. “Paul has already investigated the incident. It was just a mere traffic accident;
nothing to be worried about. However, I'll still get the guards to increase their watch on the perimeters
just to be safe.”
“Thanks for taking the trouble to do all that,” Charlotte said. “Good night, then. You should rest well.”
“I...” Louis hesitated. He seemed reluctant to leave.
“What's wrong?” Charlotte narrowed her eyes at him.
“I...” Louis sounded nervous. “Well, there's a bar in the manor. I wanted to invite you for a drink.”
“Now?” Charlotte frowned. “After what happened earlier today, it's best for us not to go out so late.”
“Huh?” Louis looked confused. “What do you mean by 'late'? It's just a little past nine o'clock.”
“Let's go another day, okay?” Charlotte said simply. “You should sleepy early. Good night.”
She did not wait for Louis to reply and closed the door on his face after saying that.Louis stood on the other side of the door, feeling very disappointed. He had thought that they would
spend more time with each other once they arrived at the manor.
However, Charlotte had not allowed him any chance to be alone with her. Every time he tried to
approach her, she would find some excuse to avoid him. He had finally mustered up the courage to ask
her out directly and she had still turned him down.
He had no other choice but to continue waiting on her patiently.
Louis sighed to himself and turned to leave.
Inside her room, Charlotte was stunned speechless by Louis' invitation earlier. That man really has no
sense of danger! He does not care about safety at all! He dares to ask me to go to a bar with him at a
time when we should all be on high alert!
However, this was Louis' personality. His life had been smooth sailing ever since he was a child, and he
had never experienced any terrible crisis. It was only natural that he would develop such a gentle and
trusting personality, and a lack of a sense of danger.
Charlotte shook her head to herself and put him out of her mind. She was still worried about the
children. She left her room and went to check up on them.
Lupine had scheduled four of her men to watch over each of the children in shifts, even when they
were asleep. Luckily, the children loved the excitement and did not mind the bodyguards' presence
around them.
Only Robbie, the most perceptive of all the children, asked Charlotte, “Mommy, was the explosion this
afternoon a sneak attack on us?”“It was a car accident,” Charlotte explained gently. “Mommy's just taking extra precaution now to be
safe. Don't worry about it. Go to sleep now. Sweet dreams.”
“Okay,” Robbie said sleepily and dropped the subject. “You should sleep early too, Mommy. Ellie and
the others are all tired from playing today and they're already sleeping soundly.”
“They must have a lot of fun sleeping in the same room.” Charlotte smiled as she thought of them
playing together happily before bed, “Ellie really likes playing with them.”
“I'm not much fun. Ellie was probably bored to death with just me around. Now that she has three girls
to play with, she is much, much happier,” Robbie said with a laugh.
“Haha! What about you? Are you bored?” Charlotte asked with a smile.
“I'm not. I spend my time reading or surfing the internet or painting... There's so much to do!” Robbie
replied. “On the other hand, Mommy, you must focus on your treatment!”
“I will.” Charlotte pulled Robbie in for a hug. “Time for bed. Mommy wants to go to sleep too.”
“Good night, Mommy!”
“Good night, Robbie.”
Charlotte walked back to her room. She caught sight of Louis drinking alone in the bar downstairs. She
frowned to herself but did not say anything.
Guilt pricked at her heart. She clearly had no feelings for him. Yet, she had said yes to his proposal and
let herself enjoy his affection.
His days consisted of playing with the children and making her happy. He did not do much for himself
at all. Could he be pressuring himself too much?Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebookSuddenly, the loud noise of car engines interrupted her thoughts. Charlotte walked over to the window
and peered outside. It was a convoy of seven cars ferrying the Laurent family.
